Plum cake recipe

Carefully take the cake out from the baking tray. Slice it and serve with tea, coffee, or an assortment of snacks.

Take a large bowl and sieve together the flour and the baking powder. Keep aside. Now, in another bowl, mix together the brown sugar and butter until the sugar dissolves completely. Take the help of an electric blender.

Now, break the eggs and add them one by one. Keep beating the mixture until it is light and frothy. Gradually add the flour to this egg-butter and sugar mixture spoon by spoon so that no lumps are formed. Keep stirring to attain a smooth mixture. Add the milk and the vanilla essence and mix well. Add cinnamon powder and blend again. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop the nuts and the prunes finely. Mix in the batter and beat well. Reserve some nuts that you can put on top of the cake. Now, preheat the oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with butter paper. Grease it with oil or butter and dust some flour. Pour the batter in it.

Bake the cake at 180 degrees Celsius for one hour or at 200 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes. Insert a skewer in the cake to check if it is ready. If it comes out clean, take out the cake and place it on a wire rack to cool.
